Independent Open HIMA Safety Platform
Proprietary solutions not only lead to dependencies, but can also drive up costs. HIMA is taking a
different approach with the Independent Open Safety Platform. For example, the company is
integrating the RaSTA protocol (Rail Safe Transport Application) into its safety solutions to enable a
future-proof EULYNX implementation. This technology makes it possible to integrate the Standard
Communication Interface (SCI) into the application programme of HIMA safety controllers
independently of the EULYNX baseline used – creating flexibility for railway operators.

Railway Electrification
The safe and fast control of electrical circuits is a fundamental task in the railway industry.
However, the effort involved is often very high. With the acquisition of Sella Controls, HIMA has
further strengthened its portfolio, particularly in the field of railway electrification. The innovative
solutions enable the control and safety-critical shutdown of the traction power supply and thus
ensure the efficient and safe operation of energy management systems. At InnoTrans, the company
will be showcasing solutions for traction power control, such as “Conventional operational
control” and “Safety-critical shutdown” which will be illustrated using practical examples. Both
solutions utilise TrackLink® SCADA and help avoid operational failures and ensure the energy
infrastructure remains robust even under demanding conditions.

Rail Control System
HIMA’s Rail Control Solutions provide intelligent automation for critical railway infrastructure such
as interlockings, level crossings, and depots. These systems are designed to ensure safe control
